Kratom Safe and Saves Lives
 

Older consumers reading stories of Kratom “deaths” aren’t getting all of the information. Please look deeper. Most deaths attributed to Kratom include other drugs, other chemical substances. 

Kratom has helped me in my life immensely. I was a painkiller addict on the verge of losing my job and my family all because the doctors refused to approve surgery until I’d been on OxyContin for 6 years and was ruined. I went into suboxone therapy and now I’m using kratom as a natural painkiller and to reduce the symptoms of long term withdrawal from suboxone. 

The only reason they want to schedule this drug is to keep profits in other areas (pharmaceutical painkillers) high. Let people take control of their own health. Protect Kratom.
